Yes, I wouldn’t be surprised if, for example, Taika Waititi gets tapped to direct one of the anthology films given the success of Thor: Ragnarok.

I think a lot of the tweaks to the already existing story really worked...little scenes with Varys and Littlefinger or Brienne and the Hound fighting, that weren’t in the books, showed great instincts. Others, like adding in rapes or Braavos and Dorne, were horrible.

I think they just don’t have very good storytelling instincts. When they’re relying on GRRM’s storytelling, they’re in great shape. But when they feel the need to tweak (like adding in a bunch of rapes that weren’t in the books) they show that they don’t know what they’re doing from a storytelling perspective.

That’s funny, the two black showrunners say otherwise:

If this is the only way to get a Salacious Crumb standalone film, then I guess I’m for it.

It seems like they completely gave up on writing anything at their prior level of quality and went all-in on spectacle. And got rewarded for it.

My comment gets a D for being equally uninspired.

So, we’re finally doing “What if Luke and Leia had totally done it before discovering they’re siblings... And then continued to do it anyways?”

I don’t like Sand Snakes. They’re coarse and rough and irritating and they did nothing.

A lot of the backlash against The Last Jedi was also racist (and sexist). 

Alt-right dudes are always so concerned about getting things shoved down their throats. In that spirit, I think we can respect their wishes and just gently place Black Panther into their mouths so they can guide it with their hand in order to keep it from banging against their uvula.

Some of the prerelease hate on it from bigots is almost laughable in its stupidity, like I was reading a thread for it on Facebook and some rando was decrying how it shouldn’t be all (well mostly) black and that it is just because of hollywoods diversity trend yadda yadda yadda.

Hahahaha

> It’s clear that the enemy is capitalism, but the series frequently stops short of saying so—not only that, but instead of redirecting its ire on the technological development of the stacks. Characters deliver homilies on the evil wrought by the few having so much more than everyone else, then inexplicably pivot to…

Progressive Punks Fuck... On?

But weirdest of all may be the story’s stubborn refusal to engage with its primary theme in a coherent way. If Altered Carbon has a key lesson, it’s that the rich will always be an existential threat to the rest of humanity. It’s clear that the enemy is capitalism, but the series frequently stops short of saying so—

Oh yeah: he couldn’t deal with the darkness of his own desires because... uh... he liked oral sex and facials. File under: plotlines made obsolete by pornhub.

So rich people are Cylons. Didn’t we already know this? And I don’t suppose there’s any gay in this sea of sexy sex.

**sobs while conditioning**

there’s a lot of characters pensively moping in the shower. Who knew people did so much brooding in between lathering and rinsing?
